Email Chain About Probability, Physics, and Open Science Research (File 025185)

Email correspondence between David Grosof and Jeffrey E. discussing probability theory, physical forces, open science initiatives, and life science ventures, with mentions of Jim Watson and consciousness research.

Summary

This email chain from January 2017 features an extended discussion between David Grosof and Jeffrey E. about probability as a physical force rather than a statistical concept, drawing parallels to gravity and centrifugal force. The conversation also covers Grosof's interests in open science publishing (PLoS, Wikipedia, Internet Archive), early-stage life science ventures with emerging technologies, cybersecurity practices, and philanthropy supporting high-risk basic science research. References are made to Jim Watson's work, Jonathan Victor's neural coding research, and Reese Jones's consciousness hacking initiatives at Singularity University.
